Medium, medium-plus cherry red – no purple highlights. Monsieur Laurent seems to have taken his foot off the accelerator a little when it comes to the oaking of this wine, yes, it’s still a little toasty – medium toast – but the oak mingles well with the fine and creamy red fruit notes, particularly about 1 hour after opening – nice. Very well balanced, excellent acidity and whilst I’d like a hint more density there’s a nice creamy length. I don’t think it told me much about Nuits, but this is almost good and was certainly enjoyed.
